It's not _very safe_. It might be reasonably safe for the reason you stated, but Adobe can (and has done in the past in a few instances) change the underlying implementation of a particular function or tag to something different at any time and theoretically even in an updater from N.0.0 to N.0.1.
Fact is - as soon as you use anything undocumented you're on your own.
